The Big Mosque of Mercy

Ellery, Chris

Siren Songs from the Heart of Austin does new and vibrant things with narrative. Magical realism adds its rainbow colors to the twenty-two first person pieces that interweave to tell the story of a group of people living in Austin, Texas. The six main narrative threads overlap and entwine around the idea of love in its myriad forms. Aqua Vitae Café, in turn of the millennium Austin, is the central connection-although the settings range from Austin to New Mexico to Guatemala and Honduras. And through it all, the Prophet Mudcat sings his siren songs, trying to usher in the Age of Aquarius by returning humankind to the water . . . .

These are lyric poems set in China by a leading American poet, Steven Schroeder, who has lived, studied, and taught for many years in China.

A Dim Sum of the Day Before

Schroeder, Steven

Grappling with the challenge of Wallace Stevens' masterpiece, "Thirteen ways of looking at a blackbird," Steve Schroeder and Sou Vai Keng combine the poet's craft, philosophical ways of thought and the practice of Sinology to reconfigure and metamorphose Laotse's wisdom book into a poem in totally natural English. The product speaks to our world today with its maddened consumerism, war as national habit, the eternal questions of death and creativity, and the struggle to be rather than just exist. This elegant and beautiful little book helps us understand some of the eternal questions-and some transitory ones as well.

Short Stories & Anthologies

<p>This youthful tale is not so much about fishing as it is about the discovery of values. It teaches without preaching. Here is a marvelously acute sense of what it is like to be on the cusp of adolesence: still innocent but now aware that deeper truths, like larger fish, swim beneath the surface and wait to be caught and revealed.</p>

The Very Special Christmas of Henry and Paul

Coffield, March

Activities, Crafts & Games

This is a collection of tales that will appeal to both general readers and to gambling enthusiasts. The stories deal with the most profound of human passions stirred by the compulsion for taking chances. These are not stories about the mechanics of gambling, but instead, as Doyle Brunson notes in the introduction, these are tales that both engage the reader with lively writing and deal with fundamental human concerns: relationships, self esteem, love, hate. The contributors to the volume are experienced writers who are dedicated to telling good yarns and who know about gambling.
